Chapter 2592:

Chapter 2592

There are only seven or eight policemen in Khimki town. With this power, it is obviously not enough to block several exits of the town. Therefore, the first thing the police chief thought of was to ask the garrison in the town for help. Since the German reconnaissance force attacked the town of Khimki, the original garrison squad was increased to a garrison platoon. With their assistance, there would be no problem in blocking several exits in the town.

Thinking of this, the sergeant picked up the phone again and dialed the number of the garrison platoon leader.

When a voice came from the receiver, the police chief said politely: "Hello, I am the police chief of the town. I have important matters and need to speak to the platoon leader."

“I am the platoon leader,” a strange voice came from the receiver: “Comrade Sheriff, what can I do for you?”

"A suspicious officer was found in the town. I have already contacted the bureau. They will soon send people to the town to conduct a search." The police chief said respectfully: "Before the large forces arrive, I am worried about him. will escape, so I hope to use your power to block several exits in the town to prevent suspicious persons from escaping. "

However, the platoon leader seemed not interested in the sergeant's request. He said impatiently: "Comrade sergeant, now that the war is over, how could there be any suspicious people sneaking into the town? I think you are too nervous." Come on."

The sergeant was not discouraged in the slightest when he heard what the garrison platoon leader said. When he called the director of the bureau office just now, the other party also looked disapproving. However, he heard that this suspicious person was discovered by General Sokov, and his attitude It immediately took a 180-degree turn. Now, you can try the same words against the platoon leader who is unwilling to help.

“Comrade Platoon Leader, in fact, this suspicious person was not discovered by our police.” The police chief said: “It was discovered by a general who came to visit relatives in Khimki Town.”

“A general who came to Khimki to visit relatives?” the platoon leader said in a disapproving tone: “How dare he conclude that the people he saw were suspicious persons?”

"Comrade Platoon Leader, if someone else had said this, I might still be skeptical." The sergeant continued: "But the general who discovered the suspicious person was none other than Soko, who had made great achievements in Khimki Town. "General Husband."

"Who, who are you talking about?" The platoon leader couldn't believe his ears when he heard the other party mentioned Sokov's name, and quickly asked: "Comrade Sheriff, who are you talking about just now? Can you repeat it again?" Once?"

"General Sokov!" The sergeant guessed his name from the change in the platoon leader's tone, which shocked the other party. He continued: "It was the garrison squad he led that successfully prevented The German reconnaissance force broke into the town of Khimki. He came to Khimki today to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. When he was shopping in the officer's store, he happened to meet the suspicious officer, so he came to see me. Let me find out the details of that officer."

“Then have you found out the details of that officer?”

"No, but there must be something wrong with the other party." The sergeant said: "Two of my men met the officer on the road. When they came up to check the other party's ID, he pushed my men down violently, then turned around and ran away. My subordinates chased for a while but failed to catch up, so they reported the matter to me. I just reported the matter to the bureau, but it would take some time for the people they sent to assist in the search to catch up. So I would like to ask you to send someone to help block the entrance and exit of the town."

"No problem, no problem." Knowing that it was the suspicious person discovered by Sokov, the platoon leader's mind immediately changed. Sokov, his predecessor, had always been his idol and he could perform well in front of his idol. , can become his bragging capital in front of others in the future. But before agreeing to the Sheriff's request, he asked another question: "By the way, Comrade Sheriff, you said that General Sokov came to Khimki Town, where is he now?"

"My subordinates reported to me that the direction General Sokov went to was the dormitory of the family area of ​​​​the instrument factory." The sergeant replied: "We only know that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are workers at the instrument factory, but who is the specific one? Not sure. ”

After hearing the sergeant’s reply, the platoon leader felt a little disappointed: “That’s such a pity. Comrade sergeant, I immediately ordered the troops to station at each exit to assist your men in performing the blockade mission.”

Ten minutes later, soldiers from the garrison platoon dispersed at several exits of Khimki Town, assisting the police in checking people leaving the town and preventing the suspicious captain from escaping the town.

At this time, Sokov and Asiya had arrived at the family area of ​​the instrument factory and were chatting with their father-in-law, Bakanidze.

There was a knock on the door, and Bakanize stood up and opened the door. It was his next-door neighbor who came to borrow tools and planned to repair his house. Seeing Sokov sitting in the living room, he greeted him and asked Bakanidze in a low voice: "When did your son-in-law arrive?"

“I’ve just arrived a few minutes ago. Is there anything you can do?”

The neighbor continued in a low voice: "I just came back from the town. Somehow, the army and police set up checkpoints at the exit, and they seemed to be searching for someone. Is your son-in-law coming back today? Is there anything to do with him? ?”

"What does it have to do with him?" Bakanidze asked puzzledly: "Although he is a general, he has no specific position now. It is impossible for anyone to be disadvantageous to him. I think the exit of the town is blocked, it must have something to do with him. It doesn't matter."

The neighbor said a few more words, then took the tools and left.

When Bakanidze spoke to his neighbor, although his voice was very low, Sokov could still hear a few words. He waited for Bakanidze to come over and asked curiously: "What did the neighbor say just now? I seem to hear some kind of blockade?"

In fact, even if Sokov didn't ask, Bakanidze would also like to ask whether the exit from Khimki Town being blocked by the army and police had anything to do with his son-in-law. Since the other party asked first, he naturally did not hide anything: "The neighbor said that when he came back from the town, he found that the exit was blocked by the army and the police, who seemed to be searching for someone. He even felt that this blockade The action is about you.”

After saying this, Bakanize laughed: "He is so whimsical. He thinks that if you come to my place today, the exit of the town being blocked will have something to do with you."

Hearing what Bakanidze said, Sokov was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that the police chief might have followed his advice and searched for the suspicious captain throughout the town, so he said in an uncertain tone: "I I thought, maybe the town’s blockade really had something to do with me.”

 “What’s going on?” Bakanidze asked in confusion.

Sokov told Bakanidze about the strange captain he met while shopping in the officer's store. Finally, I specially emphasized: "As a soldier, you will never forget to carry your military ID at any time. You must know that during the war, if you are unable to provide valid ID when you encounter interrogation, you may be regarded as a deserter or a deserter." The enemy arrested me. Although the war was over, I didn't carry my military ID with me, and I forgot to do so many times. This was obviously a problem, so I went to the town police chief and asked him to check the captain's ID. Details."

"Oh, so that's it." After figuring out what was going on, Bakanidze nodded and said, "Maybe it was the police chief who thought you were right, so he united with the garrison in the town to block the exit of the town. To prevent suspicious persons from escaping the town." After a pause, Bakanidze took the initiative and said: "There is only one garrison platoon in the town, and together with the police on duty, there are no more than fifty people. , I’m afraid it’s not enough to find a suspicious person in the town. You see, do I need to tell the factory director and ask him to send out the militia to assist?”

Sokov felt that since the police chief had blocked the exit from the town, he must have had a detailed plan, and there was no need for him to add any more superfluous things. He waved his hand at Bakanidze and said: "I don't think it's necessary. If they feel that they don't have enough manpower, they will definitely call the instrument factory for help. Since they didn't call, it proves that they are capable of coping with the current situation. We Just don’t be too enthusiastic or make others unhappy.”

"Okay, Misha." After listening to Sokov's words, Bakanidze nodded: "Since they feel they have the ability to solve this matter, we don't have to meddle in their own business."

After the food was put on the table, Asya, who had just come out of the kitchen, asked Sokov curiously: "Misha, what did you and my father talk about just now?"

"He asked me if I would leave you again in the near future." Sokov held Asiya's hand and said with a smile: "I told him that I will never leave your side for half a step before the child is one month old. of."

Sokov's words made Asiya feel happy, but she still said: "But if your superiors want to send you to perform some tasks, I think you should go, don't let me and the child hold you back. ”

Sokov secretly thought, if he replied to Ustinov as soon as possible and said that he was willing to work in the General Ordnance Department, would that mean that he would not have to leave Moscow in the next few years? If this is the case, when you get home, you will call him and express to him your intention to stay and work in the General Ordnance Department.

"Bakanidze, Bakanidze." When everyone was about to start eating, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and at the same time, someone shouted loudly outside: "Are you at home?"

Bakanidze stood up and walked quickly to the door, and asked the person at the door: "I'm at home, what can I do?"

"That's it, Bakanidze." The person outside the door said: "The factory just received a call from the town's police chief, saying that they found a suspicious person and wanted to conduct a search, but they were struggling with manpower. It wasn’t enough, so we called for help.”

 “What did the factory director say?”

“The factory director asked you to take a militia company and rush to Khimki town immediately to assist the army and police in blocking the road and entering the town to search.”

 “Just wait a minute, I’ll be there right away.”

After finishing speaking, Bakanidze ran back to the table, then grabbed a few slices of bread and stuffed them into his pocket. He said to Sokov: "Misha, now it's the turn of the militia from our instrument factory to take action."

Sokov considered that he had caused this incident. He couldn't have hundreds of people searching for the suspicious captain while he sat at home and ate with peace of mind. He quickly stood up and said to Bakanidze: "Wait a minute, I will go with you."

In this way, Sokov drove his barrel truck and drove Bakanidze at the front of the convoy, heading towards the town.

On the way, Bakanidze asked Sokov curiously: "Misha, do you think that person has escaped?"

"I don't think so." Sokov shook his head and said, "When I met him, he bought a lot of food. Judging from the quantity, he was not alone here. There must be accomplices with him. Together. Even if he discovers something strange, it is impossible to leave in such a short period of time. "

 When the convoy arrived at the eastern entrance of the town, Sokov saw a roadblock set up in front. There were two policemen and a dozen soldiers who were carefully interrogating everyone who came out of the town.

 Seeing a convoy approaching, a second lieutenant officer immediately ran out from the crowd. Still far away, he asked loudly: "Is this the militia company from the instrument factory?"

"Yes, we are from the militia company of the instrument factory." Regardless of the fact that the car had not stopped, Bakanidze pushed open the door, stepped on the pedal, leaned out half of his body, and said loudly to the second lieutenant: "I It’s company commander Bakanidze.”

Sokov was shocked when he saw Bakanidze making such a dangerous move, and quickly stopped the car to prevent him from accidentally falling out of the car.

As soon as the car stopped, the second lieutenant ran to the front of the car, raised his hand and saluted Bakanidze, and said: "Captain Bakanidze, please spread your people to various exits in the town and help our people blockade them. To prevent suspicious persons from escaping the town.”

When Bakanidze got out of the car and assigned tasks to the platoon leaders in the following cars, Sokov also got out of the car from the other side and asked the second lieutenant: "Comrade second lieutenant, how is the situation in the town? Did the Sheriff lead a manhunt?"

The second lieutenant did not answer Sokov's question immediately. Instead, after looking him up and down, he asked: "Who are you?"

“I am Admiral Sokov!” After identifying himself, Sokov put his hand into his pocket: “Do you need to see my ID?”

When the second lieutenant heard Sokov reveal his identity, he quickly stood at attention and raised his hand to salute: "Hello, General Sokov!" When he put down his hand, he said with some embarrassment: "There is no need to check the ID. We are stationed here. There is a photo of you in my honor roll. You were wearing casual clothes today, so I couldn’t recognize you for a while.”

Since the other party recognized his identity, Sokov did not talk nonsense with him, but asked straight to the point: "How is the situation in the town? Has the manhunt started?"

"Not yet, Comrade General." As soon as the second lieutenant said this, he saw Sokov frown slightly and quickly explained: "There are too few policemen in the town. They have all dispersed to block the exits, so temporarily No manhunt has been carried out yet, but don't worry, the police chief has reported the situation here to the bureau, and the bureau's reinforcements will arrive soon, and they won't start a manhunt in the town again. Late."
